The Powersuit Remixed: Rae Tutera

This episode of Dress Codes explores the relationship between clothing, identity, and personal evolution through a conversation with Rae Tutera, a partner at Bindle & Keep, a custom-suiting shop. Rae discusses how their personal journey of finding clothes that fit their body and gender identity led them to redefine the traditional tailoring experience for others. Rae shares the significance of a New York Knicks jersey from childhood, a J.Crew flannel worn on a first date, a charcoal gray custom suit that affirmed their identity, and a simple white t-shirt symbolizing liberation after top surgery. These items mark key moments in Rae's life, illustrating how clothing can provide comfort, confidence, and a sense of self-possession.
